The mystic beast within us


The dark shore rises
like the back of a mystic beast
curved, straining, swallowing
mouthfuls of ocean so that
the waves might move its tongue
to speak. Rocks rumble low,
groaning the stories of their birth, admitting
in the secrecy of low light
that they'd rather be sunk back
into the belly
of the world.
